The District Weekly: LOCALS ARE COUNTERATTACKING OUR POLLUTIN’ PORT BY AIR, LAND & SEA

  • Andy · 1 year ago
    I loved this quote from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., "Pollution Means Jobs" spokestool--(who, no doubt, lives nowhere near the ports):

    (LA TIMES) Jack Kyser, chief economist with the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., expressed dismay over the legal tactic, which he warned "could choke off a lot of international trade" and result in price hikes of imported goods.

    "Sometimes, people don't understand the ultimate consequences of what they do," he said. "Start stocking up on your tennis shoes and other necessities."

    So, all you winers out there who think public health is more important than ultra-cheap novelty lighters and lead-lipstick Barbies, think again!
